Talk:Emmanouil Dadaoglou

Did he ever existed?

First of all, his name is not Dadaoglou (in Greek: Δαδάογλου), but Daoudoglou (in Greek: Δαούδογλου). Second and more imprortant, all information about him, and his wife Maria Pantazi too, is -according to the late, prominent Greek labor historian Kostis Moskoff- basically unverified, and must be used with greatest causion, and with reservations. According to the Greek Anarchist Lexicon (by G. Fountas), he, and his wife never have existed at all. For all these, check with the Greek article on el:Εμμανουήλ Δαούδογλου, and its references to literature. ——Chalk19 (talk) 20:28, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

As persona of Drakoulis

Notability

Apart from the controversy of whether Dadaoglou and Pantazi existed in the Real World, I am not very certain they meet the notability criteria. Too few RS to sustain an article. Cinadon36 (talk) 19:15, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Let's finish the discussion in the centralized section linked above. I'm inclined towards redirecting the article as is. If there are no good redirect targets, it can go to AfD. czar 22:31, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Translated el:Εμμανουήλ Δαούδογλου, a section is missing

I have translated most part of the greek article (oldid=7136309) but a section is missing. (Section "Αμφισβήτηση" -->"dispute) Here, I 'll try to explain why.

• 1st sentence of #Αμφισβήτηση --> translated.
• 2nd and 3rd sentence of section -->Not translated. Does not add anything significant to the article. A translation would be that Michalis Dimitriou acknowledges Moskoff's story and echoes his doubts. Dimitriou thinks that Daudoglou story is worth noting. Dimitriou thinks that Daudoglou and his wife were among the most important figures of greek anarchism.
• 4th and 5th sentence-->not translated. The reference is citing Noutsos P. 1990 p=344 which is an index page.
• 6th-9th sentence-->not translated. The ref is not a RS.
• 10th-end-->not translated. No source is given.

I wouldn't object inserting Michalis Dimitriou opinion, even though I do not feel it is necessary. But other sentences are not based on RS and that is a significant problem. Cinadon36 18:01, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Prior discussion: Talk:Platon Drakoulis#Dadaoglou and Pantazi as personas of Drakoulis

My impression/recollection of the past discussion was that Dadaoglou might not have existed. Just to confirm, you're saying that there are no reliable sources for that? Otherwise that was why we were talking about merging/redirecting to the Drakoulis article. czar 19:13, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

The only RS that I know of that is discussing Dadaoglou is Moskoff. Moskoff doesn't take a side in the debate, whether E.D. existed or not. Dimitriou(another RS) echoes Moskoff. There is another Source, but not RS, Fountas, that claims that E.D. did not existed. A forth source, Noutsos, certainly RS, doesnt say explicitly whether E.D. existed or not. Noutsos, when discussing Platon Drakoulis at p.164, he notes (within brackets) that some of Drakoulis's articles were under the pseudonym "Emmanouil Dadaoglou". At page 177, Noutsos cites E.D for a newspaper article and notes that Platon Drakoulis used this specific pseudonym. Hence, Noutsos leaves the door open to the probability that Dadaoglou existed and someone else was using his name when writing some articles. The problem is that nowhere Noutsos is discussing in depth ( a full sentence or more, ) the life of Dadaoglou and hence can not be used as a RS in context. So, did he existed? Nobody knows and that should be WP Voice. Cinadon36 19:34, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Gotcha. So what do you think is the best way to handle—should we keep this article as a stub or redirect/merge it somewhere? (Does the elwp article have any other source material?) Would it make sense to merge into Anarchism in Greece and add what you wrote from Moskoff as a footnote? czar 21:10, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Both ways are ok. Keeping it as a stub makes sense as Dadaoglou passes WP:NOTABILITY. But I feel it would be better to add it in Anarchism in Greece (citing Moskoff), and we shouldn't pass judgement whether he existed or not. I prefer merging because I do not see how Em. Dadaoglou article could become something more than a stub.Cinadon36 21:29, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
